He doesn’t demonstrate how to prevent an accidental repetition of the “Klaus’ first day” incident.

He doesn't use 3 point contact when jumping off the forklift at the beginning of the video. I didn't know if it was serious right then and there

@@gregpittman1700 he actually does a lot of things incorrectly. I would fail him and start the training over if this was his test.

@@a1rh3add yea unfortunately I didn't watch it if it's only 8 minutes. You may be able to steer it during the practical. But when it comes to theory they won't pass with this video. Just the types of masts, stages, capacity plates, attachments, fuel types etc. Is this video serious though?

And now you have 700k people going around lying about being certified thinking this video is all they need to operate a forklift safely, when forklift-related accidents are already one of the absolute most common causes of death and serious injury in industrial and warehouse-type jobs. Seriously, this guy has his heart in the right place. He's trying to help people out so they can get jobs. But the reality is that the certification process is there for a reason. Just knowing the controls is not enough to operate a forklift safely, and even if you can fool people into believeing that you're certified when you're not (which any experience forklift operator would be able to spot in an instant just from seeing you drive), you're basically just counting down the days until you make a mistake and kill somebody or yourself because you don't really know what you're doing.

@@Fraggr92 For real. Joshua failed his forklift exam 5 times in the first 5 seconds of this video. He's not even a certified driver, much less an instructor.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jL2eY7aksdTReWg.html

@@Fraggr92 Internet doesn't give you EXPERIENCE. This video gives a quick reference and review to foster the basics. Seeing someone driving a forklift doesn't make anyone a forklift operator. It's common sense. However the video EXPLAINS how the forklift OPERATES. A video is no substitute for full training.

Haven't you driven a rear wheel drift car?

@@teddybearmaddness lol

kinda cute ngl and I don't mean the guy

yeah he just snuck in the backdoor with another guy and a camera Mr. stealy style

Highly underrated comment

This cracked me up 😂😂😂

He got hired after they saw the video

I agree but one of the most important things about forklifts that he left out is the stability triangle. Basically, after you pick something up and are clear to put your forks down, put them down as low as possible. Otherwise you run the risk of tipping over which can lead to death if you don't know what to do when a fork lift tips over. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fNN4gMiHucvFdmg.html

Problem is that he just certified all his potential customers.

@@Helium_Kennyy True, I cringe whenever I see someone driving around with their forks way up in the air when they don't need to be but as long as you're on relatively flat ground and don't make any sudden moves you should be fine assuming you're not picking up something that's heavier than the forklifts rated for. You'd have to be driving pretty reckless to tip over. I've honestly never felt like I was about to tip over before while operating a forklift.

@@Helium_Kennyy also he didn't look behind him when he backed up.

Bruh the instructor will just show this video

@Higher LVL Gaming oof

@Higher LVL Gaming well he clearly didn't watch fowler's certification video

Well if you are a man then you have driven a forklift since the day you were born.

@@nickg8915 isn't that just 4 wheel steering?

Rear steering is used to steer sharply around corners it’s quite sensitive compared to a car

It's not really all that different, conceptually speaking it's exactly like driving a car. Slightly less complicated then driving stick, you just take corners a lot faster, which is why you go really slow. Honestly feels smoother once you're used to it, wish my car could back up like that sometimes.

And it annoyed me how he lined it up like a car. That was a lot of unnecessary travel.

@@a1rh3add not easier to do, but easier to teach.

In this context, a "little white lie" has the potential to kill or cripple someone, or cause damage worth massive amounts of money. Forklift accidents are no joke.

@@Fraggr92 maybe if you're useless. In that case you shouldn't even be in a work environment like this.

@@TayT300 And because of these "little white lies", a lot of people who shouldn't be in these environments WILL be.

Congrats!

Did you really operate a forklift? There is a job I really want, but need to know how to drive a forklift. If this video works, that would be absolutely amazing.

@@BehindTheGreenEyes I’m a supervisor at my job so I hardly ever use a forklift but sometimes when everybody is gone, I need to move a forklift and it’s super easy. I don’t even need to do much with the forks other than raise them off the ground so I can move the forklift. Half the battle will be acting like you know wth you’re doing. My first time I just sat on the forklift and just figured it out. I sat down saw a key in the ignition so I turned it on. Messed with the fork handles to right and thought okay, these aren’t making me move. I saw an emergency brake to the left of the steering wheel so I disengaged the brake. It didn’t move when I hit the gas so I kept looking around. Next step was just putting the thing in drive and I was ready to go. The lever for putting a forklift into drive, park or reverse, is to the left of the steering wheel too, in the same spot as a blinker/high beam lever is in a car. TL;DR Step 1: Find key that should be in the ignition and turn the engine on. Step 2: disengage emergency brake. Step: put forklift into drive. Treat it like a car. Keep your foot on the brake through all these steps until you’re ready to go. Remember forklifts steer from their back wheels and have a really good turning radius. Good luck out there people

I do construction and onetime the contractor asked me to move a scissor lift. I was a kid i was just an apprentice but i didnt want to seem worthless so i went ahead and hopped on and carefully figuring out the controls. It took me a few minutes to figure it out and i was able to do it with hurting anyone or damaging anything.

Could have just looked at a manual

I wish there was a way to figure out the amount of money this video has collectively made for everyone in the comments that are saying they got a job from this. Prob millions per year

Honestly this comment might be my favorite one.

Thank You

@@forkliftjoe3620 of course man! It’s true! It actually just helped me get a job, so thanks for that too!

im thankful also, just helped me get a job man. much blessings

So all I have to do is go online and take a test and get the certificate? I already have experience on a stand up reach truck. After watching this, it’s no really that different from the stand up reach truck. You’re just sitting down

I don’t have a certificate, do companies really hire if you lie and don’t ask for any proof ?

Yeah but some might ask for the certification & the main thing is safety learning what to inspect before operating

Really? How about being trained to not climb through the side with the controls!!

I wouldn't want you driving for me then if you think he's legit. OSHA gives window lickers cards these days.

@@oscarcoronado9566any progress? if your lie didnt work just say you left it at home. Next day maybe get one but say you forgot it. Never say you lost it.

Thanks @Abrahamsede I really appreciate that

reading your comment spikes my anxiety

You’re the one that has to live with injuring yourself or another person for the rest of your life. Fuck that job and anyone that tells you otherwise.

You forgot a 0 in the weight figure, and you forgot to mention the "energy saving light bulbs" that turn off as soon as you drive away, making them now tight *BLIND* corners as well. If you're *REALLY* lucky there's gonna be a guy strung out on meth trying to play indy500 with you, or a gnarly old drunk who passed out in the aisle you've been using the last 20min. Fuck I love forklift jobs XD

With that attitude, I'll leave those pallets directly on the door on management office, one pallets on the top of another.

Is this in the West Coast? In NC they would never do that, because they are scared of the OSHA fines, they always say they can show up unannounced anytime, so they don’t play with OSHA

Absolutely nothing wrong with driving a forklift for a living!!! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. It takes ALL KINDS to make the world go 'round. Forklift drivers play a VITAL role in making said world go 'round!! Also: LOTS cheaper than paying back college loans!! That's your money to KEEP, rather than repaying ridiculous loans. Also: You'd completely skip the college indoctrination process, & instead learn that the world would grind to an absolute halt without blue collar workers!

Was a dispatcher, and drove @ times. Did Warehouse and residential deliveries, I would get get a kick out of people asking me to put freight in a specific place. Knowing that I can't go past a certain point, I would simply tell them sorry I'm just here to deliver @ your location. It's a liability issue, if you have any questions you can call the office.
